I was one of the people who wrote to Paramount when the series was cancelled, and later, was one of those who wrote requesting that the series be released on DVD. I began to gain hope when Paramount released the War of the World TV series. Yes, I know they were cashing in release of the movie DVD with Tom Cruise, but it was a glimmer. With Richard Burgi being in Desperate Housewives, that would be a very good reason to release The Sentinel now and cash in. The series was well written and well acted. One of the few series I made sure I taped. You truly believed that lead characters were the best of friends. And from the bloopers I've seen both lead actors seem to like each other. I hope the bloopers are released on one of the seasons DVD sets.

The Sentinel has had an incredibly strong fandom lasting many, many years after its demise. Much of this was due to overseas syndication, reruns, and word of mouth. The show was originally made by guys and for guys, with lots of blow-stuff-up action. But it's the sexy appeal of the lead characters that has kept female fans interested - VERY interested. So if you're reading this review and you haven't seen the show before, there's my plug. Something for everyone. If you're already a fan, you need no encouragement to buy and support this fantastic show. :-)

I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD. This series came out on television just before we moved overseas. We taped as many episodes as we could before we left to share them with our coworkers and their families. It became everyone's favorite, and the show most requested for those taping shows for us back home. We were loaning tapes out to people we didn't even know! It's not just a guy's show--it's for those of us women who like blowing things up, and the interaction between the two main characters is great. It's a good, clean, family show, which is probably why it was canceled. I really miss it, but I'm glad I can finally watch it again on DVD!

Loved this series. It has such a mix of action and the mystical.
I enjoyed the characters and the exploration of their relationships.
I really wished they had released the other seasons to DVD.
